lol I rebooted the server (sometimes fixes everything) and now nsca isn't running even though I followed the steps to have it run using xinetd. New issue to solve :p

In your nsclient.ini file, do you have the hostname, under the NSCA/client settings set like below?
[/settings/NSCA/client]
hostname=GAWArena
If not, it has to match the settings in the Nagios config files.

We should check to see if passive checks are enabled globally by running the following.

Code: Select all

grep passive /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

If they are not, enable them and restart nagios.

I should also get a peek at the generic-host and generic-service templates, in case they are not set to default.
Try that and see if it works for you.

Also could you post these files so we can see how ncpa is setup on your system?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/etc/nsca.cfg
/etc/xinetd.d/nsca

Also NSClient has hostname=GAWArena

I don't know if it helps but even if I run

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nsca -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nsca.cfg

It skips to a new line and doesn't run, returns no errors and I made sure those two files are owned by nagios:nagios

Passive checks are not setup in your nagios.cfg file so edit that and add the following

Code: Select all

translate_passive_host_checks=1
accept_passive_host_checks=1
accept_passive_service_checks=1
passive_host_checks_are_soft=0

Then restart nagios

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

Your /etc/xinetd.d/nsca file is incorrect, it should look like below.

Code: Select all

service nsca
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream        
        wait            = no
        user            = nagios
        group           = nagios
        server          = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nsca
        server_args     = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nsca.cfg --inetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = no
}

Kill off any nsca processes you have running and restart xinetd

Code: Select all

service xinetd restart

Check the nagios.log or the /var/log/messages log files for any errors.
You can review this document to see if the other settings are correct and the last page documents how you can test your system.

Ok yee old settings have been added and all loads fine, getting a new error now which I'm trying to figure out. When I follow the pdf you sent me to test if NSCA is working properly I get the following error when using the test text method:

Code: Select all

Error: Server closed connection before init packet was received
Error: Could not read init packet from server

From what I can tell everything you have given me is working great netstat reports:

Code: Select all

root@storage:/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects# netstat -at | grep nsca
tcp        0      0 *:nsca                  *:*                     LISTEN     
tcp        0      0 storage:nsca            GAWArena:50163          TIME_WAIT  
tcp        0      0 storage:nsca            GAWArena:50164          TIME_WAIT  
tcp        0      0 storage:nsca            GAWArena:50166          TIME_WAIT  
tcp        0      0 storage:nsca            GAWArena:50165          TIME_WAIT

Which is a lot more than it was recording last time, I've seen a few places mention security. I have everything down as security level = 2 which is DES have you seen that being a problem before?

Also for some reason the nagios log file location gives an error when looking at /var/log/syslog

I am using DES for encryption and it is working.
What is line 18 of your nagios.cfg file?
Can you check the nsclient.log file on the windows system and /var/log/messages on the nagios for any errors pertaining to nsca?

Line 18 is:

log_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

/var/log/messages isn't on my Ubuntu server, i read they deprecated it? Should I enable it for better feedback?
